Problem
Enterprises struggle to manage access for a rapidly growing mix of human users, software agents, and AI tools, leading to fragmented policies, manual provisioning, and high operational overhead. Traditional identity solutions lack the scalability and automation needed for real-time, intent‑driven access decisions in the AI‑driven workplace.
Solution
C1 offers a unified identity platform that governs both human and AI identities across cloud applications, data stores, and infrastructure. The system applies policy‑driven, intent‑based controls to provision permissions just‑in‑time, ensuring access exists only for the duration needed. AI‑enhanced governance workflows automate access reviews, reduce help‑desk tickets, and surface risk signals from integrated security tools for real‑time decision making. All resources are managed from a single control plane, providing consistent visibility and enforcement across the enterprise stack.
Target Audience
Primary customers are large enterprises and security/IT teams that need to secure a hybrid workforce of humans and AI agents, including cloud, data, and infrastructure administrators.
